that'll be the GSXR1000 with the cheapy fibreglass bodywork, rattle can black paint job and R&Gs

which will be even more fun now that weeksy's taking his shed to carry all the luggage in

we wont be doing the - 3 hours to anywhere touch as we're heading down the French autoroute for 100 miles then cutting across country on A roads.

might be coming back that way but I hope not, probably be some A roads then a scoot along the Motorway from Charleroi.

I'm trying to bargain with Couch...an hour's Motorway time on the VFR for a session at Spa on my 848

The Honda is sooooo comfy and I know I'll want to nab it for a break from the vibrations and hard seat for a bit

I've been trying to find how to do a poll for 3 days and still can't bloody find it. How have you posted a poll. What bloody button do we have to press.

They do them in neoprene, but tbh the plastic is fine.

Foxy had one on his Moto Guizzi and was similarly impressed

Certainly was. Prior to using one my Le Mans was a torture implement for anything over an hour. It gave me that tiny bit of extra height to take the strain from my knees and stopped my arse going to sleep once in 1500 miles. Transformed the ridiculous to the workable in one easy step, shame about the tendonitis.

Vibration? Just how fast are you going on the motorway?

Twins vibrate at whatever speed! You just get used to it and don't notice until you've hopped on a couple of inline/V4s to remember how smooth they are in comparison. I thought the 848 was the smoothest, easiest going bike in the world until I rode my mates '08 Blade. You'd barely know it was running apart from the fact that you were doing stupid mph down a country road on top of it
